In other words, a continuous unification of opposites. A sense of belonging (that) feels good, the threat of group
disapproval inhibits members from voicing "offensive" views. (Offend them anyway. -- Ed.)

The true dialectic group
never reaches a final consensus, for "continual change" is an ongoing
process: one step today, another tomorrow. To permanently change
the way we think and relate to each other, our leaders must set
the stage for conflict and compromise week after week, year after
year. Dialectical thinking and group consensus must become as normal
as eating. Eventually, people learn to discard their old mental
anchors and boundaries -- all the facts and certainties that built
firm convictions. They become like boats adrift, always ready to
shift with the changing winds and currents.

A group consensus means that
everyone agrees to say collectively what no one believes individually.

Today, more than half
a century later, that "attitude of acceptance" has been built. Nations
around the world are fast conforming to the pattern set in the 1940s.
The global network of "mental health" partners is working to prevent
anything that would hinder "positive" collective thinking in the
rising global village.

Mass immigration (planned
back in the 1940s) and multicultural conflicts have added to
the urgency, and the intentional crisis has helped promote pre-planned
solutions. Today, strategies for social change such as group thinking,
conflict resolution, consensus building and continual compromise
are becoming the norm.
